Example: Bea and Paratransit

Price discusses how Bea, a deaf straight white woman with atypical vision who is an assistance professor, doesn't drive. Bea uses paratransit to navigate her large car-oriented campus. Bea discussed how a paratransit driver started proselytizing and discussing his evangelical Christianity with Bea when she was in a vehicle. It got to the point where Bea felt like her only options were either not talking to the driver or trying to steer the conversation to other things. Bea noted that at one point the driver detained her in the vehicle to show her photos of solar panels, a move that made Bea late to the class she was teaching.
